"What about last night-"
She sounded shocked and said "I had the best night of my life with you."
I pretended to go along with it and said
"Ohhhh right I remember. Wow the alcohol really hit hard."
She laughed it off, but I could tell she was a little unconvinced. Then she asked why I really called her if it wasn't about last night. I stopped for a second, and remembered what I was going to ask her.
"Do you know why we're in lockdown?"
She stopped and said, "don't you remember why we partied last night- because this morning at 05:00 I left for Italy."
I almost screamed- I had gotten so drunk I didn't know what I'd done at all and seemed to have forgotten the whole day after the first drink. She must've sensed my silence because she said
"You still there Marc?"
I freaked out a little bit and said
"Yeah, yeah sorry for being so weird I don't know what's gotten into me."
"I hope you don't forget me then"
I lied and said
"Ha I sure as hell won't"
"Well I've got to check out my new place so catch up later?"
"Sure" I said.
I still was back to square one. I have no idea what I'm doing and I need a new life, and some booze. I got up and poured my self a compensation drink.
"It's six o'clock somewhere"
I took a swig and almost bucked back- damn that was a really strong drink, I took another swig. I decided to just text my boss about the work because I noticed he hadn't checked his email yet. But before that I noticed I got hungry again so I got up and opened the fridge for the fourth time at this point. I grabbed the cold pizza from my fridge. It didn't taste good anymore old pineapple and ham pizza. Ugh I threw it in the trash then missed when it bounced off the rim on to the floor. Ugh I had to bend down and grab it to put it in the trash. I muttered "I'm too old for this" and decided to grab my TV remote and turn on the cable and not just the news. Of course no shock at all the only shows on were Peppa pig and Twilight. All twenty first century trash. I threw my remote at the wall and grabbed my phone to text my boss.

Hello, I sent this message to inform you that I am apparently in quarantine. I was unaware until this morning, and apologise for the late response but I am unable to go to the office today. So I am sorry please get back to me whenever you have the chance.
I clicked send and the weirdest thing happened, the message sent but then got deleted. I was freaking out, and thought my phone was glitching. I threw the phone at the wall too. And realised I needed a breather, so I went outside to the balcony, and wow it was a little chaotic.
